Are you feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or emotionally stuck? Life’s challenges – whether rooted in past experiences, present pressures, or future worries – can leave you exhausted, confused, or disconnected. You may find yourself questioning your relationships, struggling with low mood, or simply feeling like something isn’t quite right. You don’t have to go through this alone.

I’m a warm, down-to-earth and experienced therapist offering a safe, supportive space where you can explore your feelings, understand yourself more deeply, and find ways to move forward. Whether you’re navigating a specific issue or just feeling lost, I provide a space where everything you bring is welcome.

How I Work:

I work using a pluralistic approach, which means I draw on different therapeutic methods depending on what you need – including person-centred therapy, psychodynamic insight, and cognitive behavioural tools. Therapy is not one-size-fits-all. We’ll work together in a way that feels right for you.

Clients often tell me they value my balance of warmth, empathy, and clarity. I’ll support you at your own pace, without pressure or judgement.

Areas I Work With:

• Anxiety, overwhelm, and burnout
• Depression and low self-worth
• Relationship challenges and couples therapy
• Trauma and childhood experiences
• Fertility and infertility support (including IVF, miscarriage, donor conception)
• Feeling "not good enough" or stuck in old patterns
• Stress, work/life balance, and identity

Special Focus: Fertility & Infertility:

I have a special interest in supporting individuals and couples through the emotional journey of fertility and infertility, including IVF, ART, and pregnancy loss. This can be a deeply isolating and complex experience – I offer a compassionate space to process and make sense of it.

I hold a First Class Honours Bachelor of Science (BSc) degree in Counselling from the University of East London.

Additionally, I earned a Diploma of Higher Education in Midwifery from St. George's, University of London, where I also practiced. With over a decade of experience as a midwife in the NHS and a subsequent transition to a senior executive role in the corporate world, I bring a profound understanding of life's transitions. I emphasise the importance of navigating change with sensitivity and empathy, providing a safe space for meaningful and challenging conversations.

In addition to managing my private practice, I volunteer with the Mind Mental Health charity, specialising in bereavement, loss, and grief counselling.

Counselling with me is collaborative and tailored to your individual needs. I use a pluralistic approach, which means drawing on different therapeutic models (including person-centred, psychodynamic and CBT-based tools) to find what works best for you. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply unsure of what’s going on, I can help you explore your thoughts and emotions safely and at your own pace.

I have a particular interest in supporting people through fertility and infertility journeys, including IVF, miscarriage, and donor conception. I also work with clients navigating emotional burnout, identity issues, and the pressure to always be ‘doing’ in a fast-paced world.

My aim is to help you build self-awareness, process difficult experiences, and move forward with greater clarity and confidence.

Sessions are available both in-person and online. Please feel free to get in touch if you have any questions or would like to book an initial appointment.

First Session:

To start your journey, please reach out to me via email or phone to share a little about your current situation and what you're seeking from therapy. This initial conversation is an important step in determining whether my therapeutic approach aligns with your needs.

Our first session is a chance for us to get to know each other and for you to see if I’m the right therapist for you. We’ll talk about what’s brought you to therapy, what you’d like to get from the process, and how I might support you. There’s no pressure to share everything at once — we go at your pace.

I’ll also explain how I work, answer any questions you may have, and talk through practicalities such as confidentiality, session times, and fees. You’re welcome to ask me anything — this is your space, and feeling comfortable and safe is the most important foundation for our work together.

By the end of the session, we can decide together if you’d like to continue, and what that might look like.

My standard fee is £70 per session, whether in person, online, or over the phone. 

Please contact me direct for my up to date availability.

I have three private practices:

Greenwich SE10

Islington N1

Kings Cross WC1

I work Mondays to Fridays. Saturdays at special request.

Hello I am Joanna, an experienced Counsellor and Psychotherapist.

MY APPROACH

In my practice I take a pluralistic approach to therapy. There isn’t a single ‘best’ method for everyone, different clients have different needs at different times. To provide the most effective support, I believe it’s essential to collaborate with you and understand what approaches work best for your unique situation. I create a nurturing and accepting atmosphere for you to explore your challenges at your own pace. I foster genuine connections, offering a safe, judgment-free space for sharing experiences and emotions.

I have a special interest in supporting individuals and couples through their fertility and infertility journeys. Whether you're undergoing artificial fertility treatments like IVF, considering them, or navigating your own path to parenthood, I am here to provide a compassionate and understanding space. The challenges and complexities associated with Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) can be overwhelming, and I bring the expertise to help you navigate this emotional and personal journey with care and guidance.

As a Íø±¬ÃÅ-registered therapist, I adhere to the highest ethical standards and engage in regular supervision. My pluralistic approach tailors’ sessions to your unique needs and preferences. I welcome clients from diverse backgrounds and am committed to supporting each individual journey toward healing and growth with empathy and understanding.

MY EXPERIENCE

With over a decade of experience as a midwife in the NHS and a subsequent transition to a senior executive role in the corporate world, I bring a profound understanding of life's transitions.

In addition to managing my private practice, I volunteer with the Mind Mental Health charity, specialising in bereavement, loss, and grief counselling. 

MY EDUCATION AND PRACTICE

I hold a First Class Honours Bachelor of Science (BSc) degree in Counselling from the University of East London.

Additionally, I earned a Diploma of Higher Education in Midwifery from St. George's, University of London, where I also practiced.

As a pluralistic therapist, I believe in the flexibility and adaptability of therapy to meet the unique needs of each client. Rather than adhering to a single therapeutic approach, I draw on a diverse range of theories, methods, and understandings to tailor our work together. By integrating elements from person-centered, existential, psychodynamic, and cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), I can create a personalised approach that aligns with your specific goals and challenges.

In our sessions, you are an active participant in determining the best way forward. Therapy is not a one-size-fits-all process, and I recognise that your needs and preferences may evolve as we progress. Together, we will navigate your therapy and healing journey, adjusting our methods as needed to ensure that the support you receive is both effective and meaningful.

Whether we're exploring past experiences, addressing present challenges, or planning for the future, my aim is to create a therapeutic experience that resonates with you on a deep level and facilitates lasting change.

To start your journey, please reach out to me via email or phone to share a little about your current situation and what you're seeking from therapy. This initial conversation is an important step in determining whether my therapeutic approach aligns with your needs.

Following this, we will arrange a 50-minute initial consultation. This session will allow us to delve deeper into your concerns, explore what you hope to achieve through therapy, and get to know each other better. This consultation helps both of us assess if we’re a good fit to work together.

If we mutually decide to proceed, I recommend an initial series of six weekly sessions, each lasting 50 minutes. When booked as a package, these sessions are offered at a discounted rate of £65 each.

​Following these sessions, we will review your progress together and discuss whether further sessions would be beneficial. This could involve scheduling a specific number of additional sessions or moving to an open-ended arrangement, tailored to your ongoing needs

​​My standard fee is £70 per session, whether in person, online, or over the phone. However, if you choose to book an initial package of six sessions, a discounted rate of £65 per session will apply.
